Forest Ranger: Starting with a Giant Panda Mom Clinging to Me

Chapter 08: It’s Born! Congratulations, Brother Tian, You’re a Panda Dad!

“Lin Tian, be careful!!” Seeing the panda about to pounce on Lin Tian, Wang Jian’s eyes widened in shock as he shouted a warning. At the same time, he rushed toward Lin Tian.

The livestream audience also saw the panda’s movement, and they were all dumbfounded with fear.

> “Holy crap!”

> “The panda’s lunging!”

> “No way to escape at this distance!”

> “Brother Tian just started as a ranger today, and now he’s going to die on duty?!”

…

The barrage exploded with tension.

Lin Tian was also startled by the panda’s sudden lunge. But remembering that the panda was injured, he suppressed the urge to flee and stood still. At that moment, he felt a weight on his leg.

The panda’s fluffy, thick paws tightly hugged his thigh. Then, it raised its round head, its glossy black eyes looking at him pleadingly.

“Ying ying.”

(My stomach hurts… help… help me.)

The panda was extremely weak at this moment. The pain in its lower abdomen had kept it from eating properly for days. Seeing the panda lunge at him to seek help, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.” Lin Tian reached out to rub the panda’s round head, soothing it.

The panda’s fur was thick and soft, feeLin pleasant to the touch. The panda, in turn, tilted its head, nuzzLin Lin Tian’s palm affectionately.

> “???”

> “What’s going on?”

> “The panda doesn’t seem to be attacking Brother Tian.”

> “It looks like… it’s being affectionate???”

> “No way, is this really a wild panda and not one secretly tamed by Brother Tian?”

> “Ugh, I’m so jealous! I want to rub that chubby panda head too!”

…

The livestream audience was stunned seeing the panda cLin to Lin Tian affectionately.

What was this situation?

Wang Jian, standing nearby, was equally dumbfounded.

This panda really wasn’t trying to attack them? And, it seemed very close to Lin Tian. Could Lin Tian’s physique be that amazing? Yesterday, the golden snub-nosed monkeys trusted Lin Tian. And now, even a panda was the same?

Wang Jian found it astonishing.

At that moment, Lin Tian, concerned for the panda’s safety, after soothing it for a bit, crouched down to carefully examine its belly.

If the panda was truly in labor distress, it was likely due to a malpositioned fetus or… multiple cubs.

Normally, pandas rarely experience dystocia (obstructed labour). Because panda cubs are born late, newborn cubs are tiny, as small as a mouse. Giving birth was usually very easy.

Sometimes, a panda mother might just be lying down resting, and with a whoosh, like passing gas, the cub pops out. For dystocia to occur this time, the issue likely lay with the cubs.

With this in mind, Lin Tian reached to touch the panda’s lower abdomen.

> “???”

> “What’s Brother Tian doing?”

> “Whoa, Brother Tian’s such a pervert, touching the panda’s belly!”

> “Ew…! I never thought Brother Tian was like this!”

> “Not even sparing a panda??”

> “Is this a live panda flick?”

> CallMeRichBeauty: “Brother Tian, let go of that panda! If you’ve got urges, come at me!”

> “Yo, something’s seriously wrong with you upstairs!”

…

The audience didn’t understand Lin Tian’s actions.

Wang Jian was also puzzled, seeing the panda show no signs of aggression, he cautiously approached.

“Lin Tian, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the panda’s belly?”

“Yeah, the reason the panda’s in so much pain is probably because it’s in labor distress.”

“Labor distress??” Wang Jian was shocked, his eyes widening.

This panda was pregnant? And Lin Tian had figured out it was in distress? The situation was unfolding too quickly for Wang Jian to process.

The livestream audience, hearing Lin Tian’s words, were equally shocked.

> “Labor distress?”

> “Whoa, the panda’s pregnant!”

> “Does that mean we’re about to see a baby panda?”

> “I want to see a panda give birth!”

> “That cub isn’t Brother Tian’s, is it? Why else would he know so much?”

> “And the panda mom is so affectionate with him.”

> “The panda and Brother Tian have a deep connection, confirmed!”

> “Shocking: Streamer abuses job privileges to have an unspeakable relationship with a panda!!”

> “???”

> “Alright, alright, this is how you film a human-animal flick, huh???”

…

Netizens never ran out of ways to stir the pot.

Fortunately, Lin Tian wasn’t paying attention to the barrage at the moment. His brows were slightly furrowed as he focused on the panda’s belly. From his earlier touch and observation, Lin Tian deduced that the cubs were indeed malpositioned.

And … It was carrying twins! With these two factors combined, no wonder the panda was in distress. Moreover, one cub was stuck at the birth canal, likely for some time.

If not addressed soon, at best, the cub could die from oxygen deprivation. At worst, it could be one corpse, three lives lost!

Lin Tian didn’t dare delay. He needed to help the panda deliver the cubs now.

“Panda mom, lie down. I’ll help you deliver the babies.” Lin Tian soothed the panda mother, guiding it to lie on its back on the grass. This position would make delivery easier.

The panda understood Lin Tian’s intention and didn’t resist. It obediently lay on the grass, exposing its soft belly.

> “Wow! The panda’s so obedient to Brother Tian.”

> “The belly is the softest part of a panda.”

> “To expose it like that to Brother Tian shows how much it trusts him!”

> “Brother Tian, you definitely have some secret with this panda mom.”

> “Spill it already.”

> “Is that cub in her belly yours?”

> “???”

> “If Brother Tian saw your wild guesses, he’d probably spit blood.”

…

The barrage was getting more and more absurd.

Fortunately, Lin Tian was fully focused on helping the panda deliver, ignoring the barrage.

At that moment, he was gently stroking the panda’s belly, helping to adjust the cubs’ positions. His target was the cub stuck at the birth canal. He carefully pressed on the panda’s belly with both hands, his movements slow and cautious. Luckily, because it was caught in time, though the cub’s head was stuck, it wasn’t completely compressed.

With Lin Tian’s careful nudging, the cub was guided back into the abdomen, allowing the other cub to come out more smoothly.

With a faint sound, whoosh, a pink, hairless, mouse-like panda cub was successfully delivered. It lay on the grass, eyes not yet open, tilting its head and whimpering as it searched for its mother.

As Lin Tian helped adjust the fetus, the livestream audience watched nervously.

Now, seeing the cub successfully born, the screen erupted with cheers.

> “It’s born!”

> “It’s born!”

> “So tiny! Is this a panda cub?”

> “I never thought I’d watch a panda give birth in a livestream.”

> “The miracle of life!”

> “This moment is so moving!”

> “Brother Tian is awesome!!!”
